Why Water Safety Is Important

Learning how to swim in Melbourne is about more than backstrokes and blowing bubbles. It's an invaluable life skill for infants — and a great way to have some fun! Instilling fundamental swimming skills is extremely important for babies and toddlers in particular. We've gathered a few important facts about water safety that underscore its importance:

Drowning is the third-leading cause of unintentional death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.

There are an estimated 372,000 annual drowning deaths worldwide.

Global estimates may significantly underestimate the actual public health problem related to drowning.

Water safety is an important matter in any home, especially if you have a toddler or a young child. Swimming pools are fun to play in, but they can also be deadly. Instances of child drownings are a leading cause of death for children 14 and under. According to the Red Cross, more than 1 in 5 water fatalities is a child aged 1 to 4.

Here at AquaMobile, we hold your child’s water safety in high regard. Here are AquaMobile Swim School’s drowning prevention tips for parents and carers to ensure your children stay safe in and around your home swimming pool in Melbourne.

Ten Ways To Promote Water Safety and Prevent Your Child From Drowning in Melbourne

1. Actively supervise your child while they swim.

Always watch your infant or toddler closely when they swim in the water! There is no substitute for active parent or guardian supervision. Make sure one adult is completely focused on watching all children in the pool at all times. It’s not enough to have 20 distracted adults talking to each other around the pool – one must be actively supervising the children in case of emergency. In 69% of drownings, the child was being supervised by one or both of the parents.

2. Know CPR and First-Aid.

Although this may seem like an obvious step, many people, even experienced swimmers, underestimate the need for knowledge of CPR and First Aid. Be sure you are up to date on your First Aid knowledge and certifications so you can take charge in case an emergency situation arises. Effective CPR can double a child’s chances of survival. Due to popular demand, AquaMobile offers water safety and first aid courses in addition to our regular at home private swimming lessons in Melbourne.

3. Make sure the supervising adult knows how to swim.

The supervising adult should know how to swim and know basic CPR and First-Aid Training in case of a swimming emergency. During the time it takes for the ambulance to arrive, CPR training could save a life.

4. Make sure your children know how to swim.

"Children aged 1-4 with formal swimming lessons have up to 88% less of a chance of drowning. Children can learn how to swim from a very young age. However, they will still need to be supervised by an adult at all times to ensure water safety. After formal swimming lessons, consider signing your little one up for Surf lifesaving programs, where they can learn valuable skills about water safety when it comes to beaches, tides, and more!
"

5. Fence in your pool.

With an adequately installed fence, you can make sure children don’t wander into your pool unsupervised. For some regions, the law requires you to install a fence around your pool. If not, you should still surround your pool with a fence at least 1.2 metres (four feet) tall to help keep kids from accessing an unsupervised pool area. Install gates with latches that are beyond a child’s reach and use a padlock in conjunction with the latch. Don’t use chain-link fences as those are easy for children to climb.

6. Keep your pool well equipped with safety equipment

Ensure that you have a First Aid kit, safety ring, rope, and phone near your pool. Make sure the babysitters you hire know about the regulations regarding your swimming pool in Melbourne. Having the right equipment at your pool means that it’s well-equipped to deal with any accidents.

7. Beware of drains.

Watch the drains in your pool and hot tub – body parts and hair can get trapped in the suction, resulting in fatal consequences like your child drowning. Put in drain covers when the pool is not being used, and consider installing multiple drains to reduce suction. Make sure your children don’t play near the hot tub suction!

8. Clean up toys when not in use.

"It’s fun to play games in the swimming pool, but be sure to clean up! When you’re done with toys, get them out of the pool. A child might fall in the water while trying to retrieve their favorite toy.
"

9. Never let your child swim alone.

Make sure your child is not swimming alone so that there’s always someone for them to go to in case of trouble! Regardless of age, your children should be using the buddy system.

10. Make sure your children don’t engage in horseplay in the pool.

This is a key swimming rule you should teach your child. In the water, make sure your children don’t push or jump on any other children – it’s unsafe swimming practice and can result in an accident.

Fun Swim Lessons For Toddlers and Babies

Swimming lessons in Melbourne for young ones shouldn't feel like a chore. At AquaMobile Swim School, we're committed to making swimming fun for your little ones.

Learning to swim is a repetitive process, particularly for infants and toddlers. It requires a lot of discipline and willpower to commit to the same swimming lessons day in and day out. Young children often thrive in environments with clear expectations, and can really get into swimming when they know exactly what they should be doing. Still, it’s always good to include water sports, swimming aids, and other training tools to increase the variety and fun of swimming lessons!

We at AquaMobile have compiled 5 Ways to Make Swimming Lessons for Kids Fun.

Use combinations of swimming aids such as fins, pullbuoys or snorkels. Different aids help swimmers to target train, and focus on specific techniques. The addition of swim aids is novel and interesting, and is a fun addition to regular swimming drills.

Have a diverse range of sets and drills to alternate between. This helps to give young swimmers in Melbourne a variety of training exercises to do in the water and keeps their practice time from being overly monotonous while they are still adjusting.

Include land drills into practice times. Allowing infants and toddlers to exercise on dry land before or after working in the water offers a change of environment, and a chance to work on different and alternative exercises that impact performance in the water.

Brainstorm target goals together with students. By giving each kid a strong sense of ownership over their own swimming training, you increase motivation and encourage a sense of responsibility and pride in training exercises.

Play interactive water sports such as water polo for kids or sign up for Nippers Clubs & Surf Lifesaving. These activities are physically rigorous, but are light-hearted activities, and is another way to take a short but pertinent break from more intensive, solo training regimes in Melbourne.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

How long will it take for my child to swim?

A: Every infant, baby and toddler is different — that means each child will progress at a different rate. We tailor our infant swimming lessons for each student, depending on their skills. By booking one of our AquaMobile Swim Teachers, we'll be able to get a better grasp on the skill level of the student. Some common factors that slow down your child’s learn-to-swim progress are explained in our blog post here.

How frequently should I book private swim lessons for my children?

A: Most students in Melbourne tend to progress faster with 2-3 lessons per week. Once a week swim lessons are not ideal because children tend to forget too much in between their private swim lessons. Intensive programs of everyday swimming lessons are also effective and work best for families who vacation or have busy schedules. Research has shown that skills are better acquired with regular intensive practice rather than intermittent practice. With our experience over the past 11 years, we agree!

Can I book a trial at home swim lesson in Melbourne?

A: Trial swim lessons are not a good indicator of the progress that will be made throughout a series of 8 or more private swim lessons. The first swim lesson often establishes comfort level, as this is where the bonding and rapport between student and Swim Teacher begins to form. It can take 2-3 swim lessons to build that connection and trust between teacher and student, and to see visible progress. We do have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee — if you aren't satisfied after your lesson, we'll set you up with another teacher free of charge. If that does not remedy the problem, we're happy to provide a full refund.

How far in advance should I book my AquaMobile private swim lessons?

A:A: As soon as possible. Times tend to fill up quickly, especially for times during the second half of November through March. There is more availability in September and the first half of October. AquaMobile swim lessons are also available year round, but availability may be more limited in some areas.See more frequently asked questions (FAQ) here.

Testimonials

I would recommend AquaMobile to everyone. With AquaMobile you are learning everything precisely. With the bios online I knew exactly what experience the instructors had, if they’ve been working with children previously – I knew exactly what I was getting. Without a doubt, my children progressed at triple speed vs. enrolling with the city pool.

Joanne L.

My son loves the instructor and he’s learned so much. She relates really well with my son, always arrives on time and is professional. From the 3rd class he was swimming by himself, floating by himself. We are very happy that we found AquaMobile.

Rachel K.

When I called, it was very convenient and easy, AquaMobile set me up right away with a schedule of lessons, there was no waiting. Olivia is 4 and didn’t know how to swim and she’s swimming on her own now and really confident in the pool. Hallie is now a much stronger swimmer now and her strokes have improved tremendously. We’ve had a really positive experience. My girls love it!

Alyssa S.

The profile descriptions of the instructors were the best. To hear that there was someone local in our area that met our needs was very important to us.
